If You Were Brave
If You Were Brave Here, I write a very lofty, albeit short, idea-conglomerate for those who wish they had more courage, more intentionality, more purpose, or all three. If you can make it to the end, good for you. If you can’t, it’s not because I didn’t warn you.

Once Wrote a Play
Once Wrote a Play I wish it was still with me today This is the reality of the children who learned early on they had to focus on how to be happy in their own space. This was not just a need, it had to be prioritized in order for their mind to survive. When you have an imagination that is not only developed but also encouraged by a parent, the skies are the no-limits areas of life. This also includes the universal sky.

Pause
Well, Autumn is officially here. This morning I woke up to overcast skies, rain-streaked windows, and a chill in the house that prompted me to put on a sweater. Similar to many people, Autumn brings memories of schooldays. Sharpened pencils and a backpack full of brand new school supplies. A blank notebook waiting to be filled with lessons and doodles. Brand new shoes for my growing feet and changing out of the swimsuit I had worn all summer. Ah, yes, Autumn was always a delightful time. Now that I’m a grown-up (it’s still weird to think of myself that way), Autumn is very different. With my schooldays behind me, and my (future) children’s schooldays not yet begun, Autumn holds a different charm.

Grind It Out
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say that they "don't have time" for something. Don't get me wrong I understand most people today have a lot going on and everyone's situation is different but I still don't like it. Because when it comes down to it it's just an excuse. It's a cop-out to not get things done. A lot of people think that their situation is an outlier from everyone else, that they have it way harder than their peers. Newsflash, 99% of the time it's not. 99% of the time it's just you making up excuses in your head of why you can't get things done. Or why you're prioritizing other things that you think are more important.

You deserve better
One day I hope you wake up and realize that you’re better than the things you let yourself go through. I hope you wake up and see your beauty through the eyes of the ones who love you the most. I hope that when you wake up and realize that you’re right where you are supposed to be at this given moment, that you gain some form of comfort. I hope and pray for this for you because nobody ever did that for me. Nobody ever sat me down and talked with me and made me feel comfortable in my own skin, and that isn’t something I would wish on my worst enemy. I wish someone would have sat me down when I was younger and told me that I didn’t have to settle for anything less than what I deserve. It’s the little things that people tell you or give you advice about something you’re going through. Sometimes you sit up late at night just thinking where you went wrong, where you could have done something just a little bit better or could have pulled back some, but the truth is that you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re going in the direction you need to be going to get to where you want. You don’t need to worry about the things you did in the past, it was either a dream come true or a lesson learned. You can’t change the past but you can change your future. The only way to do that is to change your outlook and your attitude about life. You can’t wake up every morning and say you can’t do something because then that’s your mindset about the rest of your day. That will be your outlook on things the rest of your life. You have to wake up and realize that only you can change the course of your life for the better. Stop putting yourself in situations that can put your mental health at risk. I say that because your mental health is where everything can start to turn on you faster than anything else. It’s worse than a physical injury, almost. It’s the same pain but it’s all in your head and you have the power to change that. Start doing things for you and nobody else. I get it, we can all be people pleasers and there is nothing wrong with that. There just has to be a time where you put yourself first for once. If you start putting yourself first and not last you’ll start to see a huge difference in your life. I’m not saying stop caring about others and how others are doing, just start caring about yourself more than what you think you do. Do better for yourself. Leave that relationship, job, cut out toxic people, yes that means family too. That’s also another thing that people tend to forget, family can be toxic. It hurts to cut them out, but you don’t have to do it forever. You just need to give yourself time and space away from toxic people. You have to be able to give yourself the time of day. You can’t make others happy until you make yourself happy and that might be the hardest pill to swallow. Please wake up one day and see for yourself that you deserve better.

Chronicles of Lockdown
It’s no secret that we’ve all had various struggles this year (without mentioning the C word), and we have all had our own ways of navigating. Here in Melbourne, we have endured some of the toughest lockdown restrictions worldwide and in many ways, we will emerge better equipped from this. We’re still locked up in our homes and it has become kinda normal, as has the fashionable matching masks we have to wear or we are slapped with a monetary fine.
